Short Property Description
Redlands Station is a working commercial cattle station located within 200km from the Great Barrier Reef and on the door step of the Australian Outback. We have an extensive yard and veggie patch plus I am developing a small mixed fruit orchard. Beside selling fresh fruit and vegetables locally, I also value add by making and selling a variety of preserves in the form of jams, pickles, dried fruit and vegetables plus fruit cordials.
5163 Ha cattle property located approx. 57 km west of Charters Towers
Organic/Biological methods we use
The best description of the method of farming on our property as a whole is regenerative agriculture. I implement a mix of farming methods from free range, organic/Biological with minimal non-organic methods. I believe in a holistic approach to farming.
